"Period Point Blank" Expect The Trade To Happen Today

Adam "Pacman" Jones will probably be a Dallas Cowboy by the end of the day. The only thing left to work out is compensation for him. The Titans want something in return for a guy who was the 6th pick in his draft class. They also want to sever ties with him and his past.

That is where the boat is stuck on the sandbar waiting for the tide. Who gives in first and opens the floodgates to allow more water in the reservoir?

There are various reports out there as to what the teams are offering and asking. There is one irrefutable fact in this equation. Pacman is still suspended by the NFL, and Jerry will be using that trump card to keep the price down. Especially if he may not be reisntated until July as has been hinted.

Now, the question becomes, if it isn't until July and Pacman misses the OTAs and Mini Camps, how does that handicap the Cowboys getting him acclimated to the Defense before Training Camp in Oxnard?

That is why I think it is today that this happens. The Owners meetings will be held in Florida to discuss the schedule in 2008, Compensatory picks, etc. What better time is there for Jerry to get in the Commissioner's ear about reinstatement?

I think the trade happens before they head to Florida. If it doesn't, I imagine it will be while they are there together and can work out the details.

Period point blank...I'd rather he work out a trade for Roy Williams while he is there and have this one done today. Tenessee seems motivated. That may help it happen.

I think it could happen by tonight. Seems like it's getting into that final stretch sort of thing.

In truth, I'm still surprised it didn't.

It is going to happen. I don't think when is important. It could very well be today. It could be after we break off talks because Jerry holds firm on the compensation, and then the Titans just cut him anyway. It could happen after PacMan poses as Kong on the cover of a fashion magazine.

You never know with these things.

My vote is May 15.

You have to wonder, he expects it to be in April that he is re-instated. How will he react if it isn't until July?

It could blow up for that guy immediately.

Quite a risk actually. No guts, no glory.

Jerry should float out the rumor that he has been secretly traded to the Pats...

Goodell would lift the suspension yesterday... :D

Hos,

How did Roy Williams get in this discussion?

Do you think there is any chance the Lions and Jerry might discuss that issue at the owner's meetings next week?

As a condition of this trade, I would like the team and its players to only refer to him as Adam Jones.

Why on earth would you want that? I can't imagine that the national media is going to look favorably on this.

I don't think the Roy Williams thing a happens until draft day, if at all.

I am hoping it does happen then though.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the Pats, the team that took a chance on Randy Moss when no one else would and who are as desperate for corners as any team in the league, aren't making more of a play for Jones?

Maybe the Pats really are smarter than everyone else. :cool:

Yes, I do and I consider him the missing piece of the puzzle that could put us over the top.

I can't let you do that, Dave.
